Cihang Temple.

Peak Emperor.

Peak Emperor was nestled among high mountains and steep ridges, with winding paths and lush vegetation.

On the mountain road, there was a stone tablet inscribed with "Home lies within these mountains, its exact location unknown amidst the clouds," followed by the renowned "Seven-door Gate," comprising seven wooden doors.

The doors featured lotus flower decorations on the knocker rings, and the last door was a date-red main gate.

Zhu Yuyan, along with the formidable members of the Yin Gui Sect, arrived unabashedly, a procession of several hundred. She sat upon a palanquin carried by four highly-skilled and beautiful female disciples.

The palanquin had no carriage, only a cylindrical pillar supporting a luxurious canopy above, from which hung strips of white gauzy curtains. Zhu Yuyan's voluptuous and graceful figure appeared behind the veil, her mysterious allure intensified.

Shangshang and Bai Qing'er, two peerlessly elegant disciples, served at her sides.

Each with her own charm, their seductive allure instantly drew the gazes of countless onlookers, igniting a burning passion within them.

"Master, the scout has reported back. Fan Qinghui, the master of Cihang Temple, is ready and waiting with her disciples and the strong supporters who have come to aid, at the base of Peak Emperor!"

Shangshang looked at Zhu Yuyan, her voice light and pleasant to the ear, stirring the soul.

"Go straight there. Today we will crush Cihang Temple openly and honorably!"

Zhu Yuyan's voice was cool and domineering, her voluptuous body radiating a mature and captivating charm.

Zhu Yuyan actually came? And with such audacity? What is she relying on? Fan Qinghui, upon receiving the report that Zhu Yuyan was heading straight for her, was quite perplexed.

She and Zhu Yuyan were contemporaries.

Just like Shi Feixuan and Shangshang, they were the pride of their respective sects, warring since their youth.

They were, indeed, old rivals!

Based on her understanding of Zhu Yuyan, the latter would not come to attack Cihang Temple so recklessly. Could she really have some terrifying trump card? Could it be the God of Hongmeng? But the God of Hongmeng seemed to be a vague and elusive Divine Spirit. Could he really manifest to help Zhu Yuyan?

「Soon.」

Zhu Yuyan arrived with her Yin Gui Sect disciples. She sat within the palanquin, and as a breeze passed through, the white gauzy curtains parted slightly, revealing a captivating silhouette.

Her eyebrows slanted into her hairline, eyes as dark as lacquer filled with spirit, her gaze carried an allure that could bewitch any man in the world.

She was like a beautiful poppy flower, clearly dangerous, yet irresistibly inviting.

Especially after Zhu Yuyan advanced to Half Step Void Shattering, her dangerous yet seductive charm was more fully revealed.

Anyone who caught her gaze, if not firmly resolute, would easily become lost in infatuation.

If Fan Qinghui was a renowned Immortal of the previous generation, then Zhu Yuyan was the previous generation's incomparable Witch.

It was much the same every generation in Cihang Temple and the Yin Gui Sect.

Fan Qinghui and Zhu Yuyan.

Shi Feixuan and Shangshang.

Immortal and Witch.

Song Zhi of the Song clan, Li Shimin of the Li clan, Yuwen Huaji of the Yuwen clan, Li Mi, and other spectators were momentarily dazed upon seeing Zhu Yuyan.

It was as if they had entered a bizarre and dark world, an irresistible impulse rising within them to prostrate before her and serve her as slaves.

Even formidable figures such as Heavenly Blade Song Que, Ning Daoqi the Wanderer, and Si Zhixuan the Evil King were momentarily taken aback at that moment.

However, their powerful cultivation levels and firm wills allowed them to quickly recover. Even so, they broke out in a cold sweat, their eyes filled with astonishment and dread.

Zhu Yuyan is this strong? No wonder she dares to claim she'll annihilate Cihang Temple!

Heavenly Blade Song Que gripped his blade tightly, a battle spirit surging within him.

His understanding of the Way of the Blade held principles such as "Beyond the blade, there is nothing else" and "Grasp the blade then forget it," his disposition as unyielding as a rock.

Yet, even he was momentarily affected by her presence, testifying to the terror of Zhu Yuyan's Heavenly Demon Technique.

How could she suddenly become so strong? Could this be her reliance?

Si Zhixuan was shocked beyond measure. He was quite familiar with Zhu Yuyan's strength but could not have imagined she would become so terrifying.

Even without engaging in battle, he had a premonition that he most likely stood no chance against Zhu Yuyan now.

Owing to issues with Bi Xiuxin, he had been driven to a mental breakdown. Although he was largely unaffected now, his cultivation level could no longer advance beyond Great Grandmaster.

Nevertheless, relying on the Undying Seal Method and his agility, even a Great Grandmaster would struggle to capture him.

"Master, I don't know what fortune has befallen Zhu Yuyan, but she is very powerful, at least at the level of Peak of Grandmaster. You must be careful!" Ning Daqi spoke to Fan Qinghui with serious eyes and a soft voice. "Moreover, those behind Zhu Yuyan are no ordinary people. There seem to be nearly ten auras of Great Grandmasters!"

When Ning Daqi sensed those Great Grandmaster auras, his first reaction was disbelief. But upon closer inspection, they indeed seemed to be Great Grandmasters. But where did the Yin Gui Sect get so many Great Grandmasters from?

"How is this possible?" Fan Qinghui was incredulous. If there were really that many Great Grandmasters, how could they possibly fight?

"Something's not right with these people from the Yin Gui Sect!"

Si Zhixuan's gaze shifted from Zhu Yuyan, growing more somber as he observed the others: "That's Bi Shouxuan, who practices dual cultivation of cloud and rain; he has actually advanced to Great Grandmaster! And those elders from the Yin Gui Sect, even that young disciple beside Zhu Yuyan, have all advanced to Great Grandmaster!"

"What on earth happened to the Yin Gui Sect? How could they suddenly have so many Great Grandmasters?"

Not only Si Zhixuan, but Heavenly Blade Song Que was also puzzled.
